The Judicial Conference Policy on Judges' Attendance at Privately Funded Educational Programs requires educational program providers and judges to disclose certain information relevant to judges' attendance at privately-funded educational programs.
As of January 1, 2007, if an organization covered by the policy issues an invitation to a federal judge to attend an educational program as a speaker, panelist, or attendee and offers to pay for or reimburse that judge in an amount more than $305, the organization must disclose financial and program information.
The Overview of Privately Funded Seminars Disclosure System provides information on how the system works for judges, education program providers, and the public.
